Reckless Kelly Tickets - A Country Rock Duo From Oregon

That's right, Oregon -- not Nashville, not Alabama, not anywhere in Texas. Just Oregon, in a little town called Bend. You don't have to bend your thinking though on the talent of this duo, vocalist and guitarist Willy Braun and vocalist, fiddle player, mandolin player, and harmonica player Cody Braun. The duo did, however, relocate to Austin, Texas, back in 1997, and also employed the use of lead guitarist Casey Pollock, bass guitarist Chris Schelske, and drummer Jay Nazz; effectively, they were no longer a duo, but they were also definitely ready to land themselves a stellar label contract with Sugar Hill during the year of 2003.

Before that deal, though, they had released their very first album -- Millican. That's what earned them the deal. They were that good. When contracted, they released their official major-label debut called Under the Table and Above the Sun in 2003. Wicked Twisted Road was sent out to stores in 2005 to continue their legacy of the country-rock music industry, followed by a live album in the next year called Reckless Kelly Was Here. Yes, definitely Reckless Kelly was especially here to rock the world.

Talk about some serious melody with country rock -- that's the ticket with Reckless Kelly. Think Montgomery Gentry, only on a darker note. Taking a hint with some of that angsty alt metal, Reckless Kelly embodies their name better than any other country duo out there.
